ODA is a web-based diagnostic assessment tool that identifies learner's strengths and weaknesses, and provides feedback (may be accessed at http://oda.dliflc.edu.) The primary function of the ODA system is to meet the critical formative assessment needs of resident and non-resident language training and maintenance programs. One of the challenges teachers and managers of military linguists in the field face is determining the actual language capability and needs of their students. Although they may have comparable proficiency test scores, linguists enrolled in various remedial and enhancement programs typically vary in terms of individual strengths and weaknesses. The ODA system provides the program managers, teachers, and learners with an instrument to evaluate and manage their foreign-language learning needs. ODA (1) offers language assessment that adapts to the learner's performance; (2) determines and verifies floor and ceiling levels of proficiency; (3) collects diagnostic data; (4) generates diagnostic profiles and; (5) provides the learner with individualized feedback. Sampling of learner abilities is systematic across a variety of levels, topics, tasks, and specific linguistic features.
